  Of Beauty 論美

  Irtue is like a rich stone,best plain set;and surely vitue is best,in a body that is comely,though not of delicate features;and that hath rather dignity of presence,than beauty of aspect.

  美德好比寶石,它在樸素背景的襯托下反而更華麗。同樣,一個打扮並不華貴卻端莊嚴肅而有美德者是令人肅然起敬的。

  Neither is it almost seen,that very beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue;as if nature were rather busy,not to err,than in labor to produce excellency.And therefore they prove accomplished,but not of great spirit;and study rather behavior,than virtue.But this holds not Augustus Caesar,Titus Vespasianus,Philip le Belle of France,Edward the Fourth of England,Alcibiades of Athens,Ismael the Sophy of Persia,were all high and great spirits;and yet the most beautiful men of their times.In beauty,that of favor,is more than that of color;and that of decent and gracious motion,more than that of favor.

  外表美麗的人,未必也具有內在的美。因為造物主似乎是吝嗇的,他給了此就不再予彼。所以許多容顏俊秀的人卻不足為訓,他們過於追求外形美麗而忽略了內心的美。但這也許不全對,因為奧古斯都·撒、菲斯帕斯、法蘭西的菲力普王、英格蘭的愛德華四世、雅典的阿爾西巴蒂斯、波斯的伊斯梅爾等既是大丈夫,又是美男子。就形貌而言,自然之美要勝過粉飾之美,而優雅行為之美又勝於單純禮儀之美。

  That is the best part of beauty,which a picture cannot express;no nor the first sight of the life.There is no excellent beauty,that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.A man cannot tell whether Apelles,or Albert Durer,were the more trifler;whereof the one ,would make a personage by geometrical proportions;the other,by taking the best parts out of divers faces,to make one excellent.Such personages,I think,would please nobody,but the painter that made them.

  最高的美是畫家說無法表現的,因為它是難於直觀的。沒有哪種美能極致到不存在比例上的瑕疵。曾經有兩位畫家——阿皮雷斯和艾伯特·丟勒滑稽地認為,可以按照幾何比例,或者通過攝取不同人身上最美的特點,用畫合成一張最完美的人像。其實像這樣畫出來的美人,恐怕只表現了畫家本人的某種偏愛。

  Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was;but he must do it by a kind of felicity***as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music***,and not by rule.A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part,you shall find never a good;and yet altogether do well.

  畫家不能通過這樣畫出更好看的臉,***正如為曲子營造氛圍的音樂家***,創造它的常常是構思,而不是公式。有許多的臉,就他們的部分看並不優美,但作為整體卻非常動人。

  If it be true that the principal part of beauty is in decent motion,certainly it is no marvel,though persons in years seem many times more amiable;pulchrorum autumnus pulcher;for no youth can be comely but by pardon,and considering the youth,as to make up the comeliness.

  雖然美之菁華無疑在於優雅的舉止,但有些老人更顯得可愛,這印證了一句拉丁諺語:“暮色之色更美。”而儘管有的年輕人具有美貌,卻由於缺乏完美的修養而不配得到最好的讚美。

  Beauty is as summer fruits,which are easy to corrupt,and cannot last;and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth,and an age a little out of countenance;but yet certainly again,if it light well,it maketh virtue shine,and vices blush.

  美猶如盛夏的水果,是容易腐爛而難保持的。世上有許多美人,他們有過放蕩的青春,卻迎受著愧悔的晚年。因此,應該把美的形貌與美的德行結合起來。這樣,美才會發出奪目的光輝。

  Happiness is a journey

  幸福是個過程

  We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, thananother. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content whenthey are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage.

  我們總是說服自己,認為當我們結婚、生子後日子會過的更加舒心些。然後我們又被那些小鬼的不懂事搞得不順心,當他們大了些後,情況會好些吧。當孩子到了青春期的時候,***有時***對於如何跟他們好好交流又會使我們很無措。我們都深信當他們過了那個年齡段後,事情就會有些轉機。

  We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her acttogether. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. Thetruth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filledwith challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.

  我們總是對自己說,當另一半有條理的過活時,***我們的***人生就會很圓滿。當我們買了一臺漂亮的車子後,我們認為可以在年老退休後開去度假。可事實上,再也沒有比當下更好的時間段了,要不是現在這時,那麼還能是什麼時候呢?我們的人生滿是各種神奇的未知數。不管怎麼說,對你我而言,最好是承認活在當下裡的意義然後及時“自己給自己找樂”。

  One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, "for a long time it had seemed tome that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way,someting to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debtto be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

  我最看中一段爾弗雷德·蘇澤說過的話。他說“一直以來,我感覺的是真正的生活就要來了。但是在前面總有些東西攔在那裡,一些問題必須先被搞定後才能進行下一項,比如未完成的工作,***做事時***等著輪到自己的那段時間、等待著交錢的帳單。當這些事解決後你才能開始自己的一天。後來我才覺悟到解決這些生活瑣事的時候就是我的人生。”

  This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is theway. So treasure every moment that you have.

  這樣的想法使我認識到,幸福是沒有方式去追求尋找的。因為尋找幸福的過程本身就是幸福。所以珍惜你所擁有的點點滴滴。

  And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you goback to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until youretire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide thatthere is no better time than right now to be happy…

  而且還要牢記時光不會等待垂青你我。於事莫等到你畢業之後、重返校園之時再去等待***幸福***;莫身陷圍城之中,來來往往,進進出出後才去等待***幸福***;莫等到你膝下饒子、莫等到你老來歸園、莫等到你了自己的新車、莫等到你喬遷新居、莫等到早春遲來、莫等到你重獲新生後才認識到人生本是‘莫待來日,及時行樂 ’……

  Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don't need money, love like you'venever been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.

  尋找幸福的過程本身就是幸福,這條路上沒有終點站。那麼,你就要像不愁薪水那般去工作;敞開心扉那般去歡愛;旁若無人那般去歌舞。

  Of Gardens 說花園

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  假如今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

  我要如何利用這最後、最寶貴的一天呢?首先,我要把一天的時間珍藏好,不讓一分一秒的時間滴漏。我不為昨日的不幸嘆息,過去的已夠不幸,不要再賠上今日的運道。

  Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

  時光會倒流嗎?太陽會西升東落嗎?我可以糾正昨天的錯誤嗎?我能扶平昨日的創傷嗎?我能比昨天年輕嗎?一句出口的惡言,一記揮出的拳頭,一切造成的傷痛,能收回嗎?不能!過去的永遠過去了,我不再去想它。

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  假如今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow's child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.

  我該怎麼辦?忘記昨天,也不要痴想明天。明天是一個未知數,為什麼要把今天的精力浪費在未知的事上?想著明天的種種,今天的時光也白白流逝了。 企盼今早的太陽再次升起,太陽已經落山。走在今天的路上,能做明天的事嗎?我能把明天的金幣放進今天的錢袋裡嗎?明日瓜熟,今日能蒂落嗎?明天的死亡能將今天的歡樂蒙上陰影嗎?我能杞人憂天嗎?明天和明天一樣被我埋葬。我不再想它。

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel?

  這是我僅有的一天,是現實的永恆。我像被赦免死刑的囚犯,用喜悅的淚水擁抱新生的太陽。我舉起雙手,感謝這無與倫比的一天。當我想到昨天和我一 起迎接日出的朋友,今天已不復存在時,我為自己的倖存,感激上蒼。我是無比幸運的人,今天的時光是額外的獎賞。許多強者都先我而去,為什麼我得到這額外的 一天?是不是因為他們已大功告成,而我尚在途中跋涉?如果這樣,這是不是成就我的一次機會,讓我功德圓滿?造物主的安排是否別具匠心?今天是不是我超越他人的機會?

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!

  生命只有一次,而人生也不過是時間的累積。我若讓今天的時光白白流逝,就等於毀掉入生最後一頁。因此,我珍惜今天的一分一秒,因為它們將一去不復返。我無法把今天存入銀行,明天再來取用。時間像風一樣不可捕捉。每一分一秒,我要用雙手捧住,用愛心撫摸,因為它們如此寶貴。垂死的人用畢生的錢財都無法換得一口生氣。我無法計算時間的價值,它們是無價之寶。

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.

  我憎恨那些浪費時間的行為。我要摧毀拖延的習性。我要以真誠埋葬懷疑,用信心驅趕恐懼。我不聽閒話、不遊手好閒,不與不務正業的人來往。我終於醒悟到,若是懶惰,無異於從我所愛之人手中竊取食物和衣裳。我不是賊,我有愛心,今天是我最後的機會,我要證明我的愛心和偉大。

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  The duties of today I shall fulfill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.

  今日事今日畢。今天我要趁孩子還小的時候,多加愛護,明天他們將離我而去,我也會離開。今天我要深情地擁抱我的妻子,給她甜蜜的熱吻,明天她會離去,我也是。今天我要幫助落難的朋友,明天他不再求援,我也聽不到他的哀求。我要樂於奉獻,因為明天我無法給予,也沒有人來領受了。

  I will live this day as if it is my last.

  今天是我生命中的最後一天。

  And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.

  如果這是我的末日,那麼它就是不朽的紀念日,我把它當成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化為甘露,一口一口,細細品嚐,滿懷感激。我要每一分鐘都有價值。我要加倍努力,直到精疲力竭。即使這樣,我還要繼續努力。我要拜訪更多的顧客,銷售更多的貨物,賺取更多的財富。今天的每一分鐘都勝過昨天的一個小時,最後的也是最好的。

  I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

  假如今天是我生命中的最後一天。如果不是的話,我要跪倒在上蒼面前,深深致謝。
